RBNZ figures show marked slowing of new lending to housing investors

From RBNZ's lending by borrower type figures for August

• Overall share of new mortgage lending going to investors in the month dropped sharply
• To just under 33%, from 37% in July and nearly 38% in June
• Previously the ratio had been rising strongly

This, of course, is just one month's figures, the question is if the slowing in lending to investors is the start of a slowing trend in the housing market
